082 Balut Vendor

A balut vendor is a traditional street merchant—most famously associated with the Philippines and Southeast Asia —who sells warm, fertilized duck eggs that are incubated and boiled. Vendors typically roam the streets at dusk or nighttime carrying insulated baskets to keep the delicacies hot, often calling out "Balut!" to attract customers.
